Finding the Average Value of a Function
The average value of a function on an interval is the area under the curve divided by the length of the interval.
note
Normally, to find an average, you would just add up all the values and divide by the number of values.
Since our universe is...
If f (x) = 8x, which of the following is the average value of f (x) on the interval [0, 4]?
16
If f(x)=cosx, what is the average value off(x) on the interval [0,π]?
0
Which of the following is the average value of
f (x) on the interval [a, b]?
1/b−a∫^b _a f(x)dx
If f(x)=sinx, what is the average value of f(x) on the interval [0,π]?
2/π
